Eid-el-Fitr Celebration: GYSAPEO tasks Nigerians on patriotism, unity, others

By Paul Ugwu

In the spirit of the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, the Global Youth Skills Acquisition and Poverty Eradication Organisation (GYSAPEO) has tasked Nigerians to put the country first in their dealings.

GYSAPEO Founder, Ozegbe Emmanuel Chuks, in a statement yesterday, noted that citizens must begin to be patriotic, adding that Nigeria remains the only country for Nigerians.

Chuks added that the current economic austerity should not dampen the spirit of resilience of citizens, saying they should look at the opportunities embedded in the challenges.

He said he would continue to assist young Nigerians, especially those who want to venture into agriculture, with inputs.

He said: "We are all aware that Nigeria is grueling as a result of the economic hardship that has plunged millions of people into poverty.

"But in the spirit of Sallah, let us remain resolute and committed to the Nigerian dream of prosperity, food sufficiency, quality education and security of lives and property.

"On our part, we will double our efforts in helping young entrepreneurs and farmers. There is no better time than now for young people to fall in love with farming.

"Gone are the days when people thought that farming was only meant for older people. These days, farmers are smiling at the bank.

"So, as we celebrate the Sallah let love lead. Let peace lead. Let resourcefulness guide our ways of life. I wish you all a fruitful celebration.”
